Happy fourth everyone.

Elliot

Agreed! Happy 4th of July!

Happy 4th =)
man its good to be back online

Your title is ironic...now that I am living in PA it is amazing how cyclical things are. (Taxed out the wazooo with no say)


Happy and safe 4th to everyone.

The taxation line is from the Declaration Of Independence not the Constitution.
You are represented in congress (the guys that actually pass spending bills)....state & federal. If YOU vote for money spending politicians. (Most lie, of course), you've made your own problems.

That's all I have to say about that.

the license plates in DC actually say "taxation without representation" as there are not represented by a voting member in either house of congress. they are essentially (as i understand it) managed by the federal government with no real say over what happens in the district. budgets are set in the house/senate and there is a non-voting member but they pay taxes like the rest of the states..... all very interesting if you are so inclined....

I am referring to the school taxes here...and I did not vote as I was not a resident yet.

Lighten up Francis

King George said: Hey guys, you owe me I am going to tax it up!

Our forefathers said: Hey George, I dont think so man.

King George said: Alright you asked for it

Our forefathers said: Bring it mofo!


and here we are...happy 4th!

Happy 4th everyone!


Blow stuff up.

You all have a safe 4th and remember the police will be in overdrive looking

for potential 502 recipients. Don't drink and drive.

My 4th sucked. The garage door spring cable snapped, sending the door down cockeyed where it bound in tight and twisted up some of the chanels and wheel housings. Took forever to get that straightened out and the door down level. New parts need to be bought... Will be back in operation hopefully be saturday.

Plus, I got into a (very rare) argument with my sweetie in the morning that left us seething until late last night. This did not help the above repairs... I'm pretty sure it hindered them.

All in all it ended up beiong one of those days where everyhting that you try and do goes wrong, and you are mad anyway so that does not help. First year in many that i have not seen fireworks. I'm glad its behind me, and that today is much better.

Sorry you missed the fireworks, Zach. In my neighborhood, some locals down the country lane were shooting off some good stuff. I watched from the open doors of my garage, while sipping on a beer and listening to Led Zep. I cheered whenever they sent up an impressive rocket to encourage them to do more. (And to let them know that the guy with the garage lights on wasn't going to call the cops on them!)
